ICD/ITKE PAVILION 2016-2017

PROJECT TEAM: ITECH Students 2016, ICD , ITKE, University of StuttgartPROFESSORS: A.Menges, J. Knippers YEAR: 2016/2017The ICD/ITKE Research Pavilion 2016/2017 is a long span cantilevering structure (12m long) made out of carbon fibers and glass fibers. This pavilion shows the potential of this material to construct larger scale lightweight structures using an intelligent robot fabrication system. The fabrication setup consists of two industrial robotic arms that anchor each fiber on the corresponding frame and a drone that transfers the fiber between them.
